WRF outputs
The .zip file contains all the NetCDF outputs produced by the mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (version: 4.0.1). Two case studies were simulated in this study, between 25-28 January 2014 (00:00 UTC) and 29 January - 1 February 2014 (00:00 UTC), respectively. The former is denoted as "NW" and the latter as "SE", owing to the prevailing wind conditions at the Jungfraujoch (JFJ) station.
The outputs come from the innermost domain of the simulations with a spatial resolution of 1 km and are extracted from the nearest to JFJ model grid point (46.55°N 7.98°E). The dimensions of each model variable is [145,100], which corresponds to time and height, respectively. The frequency of the outputs is 30 min. Note that the first 24 hours of each simulation (i.e., the first 48 outputs) were considered spin up time.
The following sets of sensitivity simulations were presented in this study:
- CNTRL_NW.nc, CNTRL_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations performed with the default version of WRF
- DS_PHILL_NW.nc, DS_PHILL_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations including a description of the droplet shattering process following Phillips et al. (2018)
- DS_SULL_NW.nc, DS_SULL_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations including a description of the droplet shattering process following Sullivan et al. (2018)
- PHILL_NW.nc, PHILL_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations including a description of the ice-ice collisional break-up process following Phillips et al. (2017)
- TAKAH_NW.nc, TAKAH_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations including a description of the ice-ice collisional break-up process following Sullivan et al. (2018) based on Takahashi et al. (1995)
- TAKAHrim_NW.nc, TAKAHrim_SE.nc : Same set-up as before but applied only to collisions between rimed ice particles
- BIPS_Xk0_DY_NW.nc, BIPS_Xk0_DY_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations including a source of Xk0 (either 10.0 or 100.0 L⁻¹) ice crystals with sizes of DY (either 10 or 100 μm) in the first atmospheric level of the model
- BIPS100_PHILL_NW.nc, BIPS100_PHILL_SE.nc : Sensitivity simulations where the combined effect of blowing snow and ice-ice collisional break-up is examined
